I am curious what the number of applications looks like. If they are having the same kind of increase as Bowdoin/Williams who have published the numbers.

my S23 did the writing supplement, and tried to get an interview but they were full. I would hope they donāt hold that against an applicant if they cannot accommodate all who are interested.

You may be able to estimate your chances at Hamilton by comparing its acceptance rate to those of the schools from which you have already heard (tentative) decisions (I.e., do these other schools appear to be more or less selective than Hamilton?). For convenience, this site provides accurate, recent information:

Assuming this is the unweighted GPA - which translates into a 4.0 U/W?
So based on GPA, you have done amazingly and that would make you as good as any candidate. Also there seems to be consistency with your ECs, such as your JROTC progression. Thatās probably as much as āchancingā as realistically is possible.
Unfortunately, as is the case with all highly selective colleges, there simply isnāt enough space for six out of seven similarly great applicants, like yourself. So, when the admissions officers are attempting to āshapeā a diverse class from among great students across the country and the social spectrum, there is no way to explain why some students ultimately happen to fit a niche in a particular year, or make predictions.
Also, there can still be good news coming from one of your three deferrals!
Look at it from the angle that you already passed the first āhurdleā, in that you were deemed to have been the kind of student those colleges like to admit. You could use the deferral as a welcome reason to send a (customized) follow-up note to the college, reiterating that you appreciate the opportunity of being evaluated in the context of the regular decision pool, and that the college remains your top choice. Maybe including a short reference unique to the college, or about something positive that happened with you since you applied.
does anyone know if RD applicants are ever admitted as January starts even if they didnāt list it as a preference?
ED1 here, but I got admitted as a Jan without listing it as a preference and Iām pretty positive that they will admit people for Jan who didnāt request it across ED1, ED2, and RD
